The Chitauri Bomb is one of the weapons used by the Chitauri troops that invaded Earth during the Battle of New York.
History[]
Battle of New York[]
During the Battle of New York, some Chitauri forces managed to corner a large group of civilians, including Beth, inside a bank, and they intended to detonate one of these explosives to obliterate the hostages.
Beth stumbled upon a pair of glasses and a watch. Her expression became horrified as she realized the Chitauri had already killed a group of civilians they had imprisoned in the bank by vaporizing them with a Chitauri Bomb, and were intending to do the same with her group.[1]
Captain America went to the bank to rescue the civilians, and while fighting the Chitauri soldiers, one of them launched the explosive at Captain America at short range in a kamikaze attack. Captain America was able to defend himself from the blast with his own shield, saving the civilians in the process.[2]
Used by the Needle[]
In 2016, the Needle used Chitauri technology to create a larger bomb and kept it at their base in Parkhar. Natasha Romanoff came across the bomb and froze it using one of the Needle's weapons, allowing Rogers to punch and destroy it.[3]
